It IS surprising, isn't it. I'm going to see if I can find it, see if I can discover if it was someone speculating or if it's a fact.
It's a little unusual for a judge to make such a prediction in a public proceeding. But, Cohen's legal predicaments are unusual as well.
I just searched and read about the decision and found the judge's statement of opinion you referenced.
"This is no simple criminal investigation; it is an investigation into the personal attorney of a sitting President regarding documents that might be subject to the attorney client privilege," Otero wrote. "Whether or not an indictment is forthcoming, and the Court thinks it likely based on these facts alone, these unique circumstances counsel in favor of stay."
